In February 1976, Louie Lundzman’s Cottonwood Creek Logging truck, driven by Detlev Reinhardt lost a stake on Vernon Street while making a left hand turn off Shuswap Avenue. As a result, several logs damaged the front of the Tamarack Café which at the time was owned by Jack Flagg – Kathy Chaput’s father. No one was hurt. As captured during the Lumby Museum’s 2022 digital inventory of Lumby’s downtown streets, today the building is vacant.
